Now in its second day, the Ouya project has earned $2.9 million, making it the third biggest Kickstarter ever with 28 days remaining.

The current Kickstarter record holder is the Pebble e-paper wristwatch, which netted over $10 million in funds. Second place, at $3.3 million, is Double Fine Adventure, the point-and-click puzzle game that launched the current gaming Kickstarter craze in February.

Ouya’s (pronounced “ooh-yah”) creator says that it will deliver free and low-cost Android-based games into living rooms for $99. It expects to ship the consoles starting in March 2013.

As of press time, about 23,400 backers had donated to Ouya’s Kickstarter, pledging as little as $10 or as much as $10,000 for various rewards. But the vast majority of backers, 20,900 of them, have pledged at the $95 or $99 levels — the amount required to purchase one Ouya console. At $99 and powered by a quad-core Tegra processor, Ouya is a decent amount of game machine at an impulse-buy price.

The company’s Kickstarter campaign has been edited to include these extra machines, as the original offering of 1,000 boxes sold out in minutes.

Uhrman has asked the public to offer advice regarding stretch goals, or what could be offered if the Kickstarter campaign continues to grow. She also posted an online survey seeking input on what games customers want to play on Ouya.
